If my system will be on 5400 and I will record on 7200 rbm hd, will it be ok, or it must be the 2 hd are with 7200 RBM?
It's impossible here to do this? And what about 500 GB of hard disk, is it ok? Cheers: Ramy Moustafa If music be the food of love... play on.

If they are only 5400 RPM then I would highly recommend to get a external 7200 RPM firewire hard drive for recording. You can buy the mac mini with the 1 TB hard drive and quad core processor and try the 5400 RPM for a start but later if you record more and more tracks, a 7200 RPM external drive would be best.
